NJ RAILROAD PASS.

We have returned pass. We
could have kept il had W desired to do
so, but we don't have to be run into by
ar engine to tumble 10 the iciness that
is growing up between the railroad
management and the press. Bill Nye's
noted return OF bis pass, with the sad
sentiments occasioned In his breast,
only helps to magnify and show up
more clearly the great plains of futuT-
ity over which our rheumatic limbs
will smble gracefully and our corn,
shine out as diamonds in the sun
scorched sand. But we had been in.
tending to return il anyway, as re-
morse was gnawing at our conscience,
and as soon as IL had gnawed n little
more We intended L. send il back 10

have SO long hidden our Utmost con.
victions rom a public over which we
are the rightful guardian and sbep-
herd, l. n sting To our precious soul.
That W are able to feel this proves
that We still have a stock of that arti-

volted nature will be listened to and

brains aud wealth" of the past will no

narrow minded bean eaters of the sur.

with its mountains Of sordid lucre-

Of the poor mans brow. The railroad
disasters aud accidents" will stand
out In bold relief rs the natural result
Of the ''color blindness" of their
engineers, the defective and cheap
construction Of their engines. with the
well known insecurity Of their bridges.

Rather than accept a pass as a favor
